Thats a blast from the past. Used to go there in my lunchtimes 30 odd years ago when I worked at Sony on the industrial estate. It used to be an Ansells pub then and used to serve Skol lager yuk. Also used to go to the Model T across the road and a pub in Coychurch that used to serve Brains, cant remember what it was called. Those were the days when you drunk alchol in your lunch breaks, frowned upon these days.

The White Horse is the pub in Coychurch, still a Brains house, I used to work on the Industrial Estate and would go there regularly at lunch time, the Pied Piper used to be crap in those days.
